DeGrazia Gallery In The Sun
The Mission in the Sun was the first building constructed by DeGrazia on the gallery grounds. Built in honor of Padre Kino, and dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe, the mission is open to visitors 365 days a year.
“The little mission was built in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The roof is open to the sky, as it should be. You can’t close up God in a stuffy room!” – DeGrazia.
The DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun celebrates both the life of Ettore “Ted” DeGrazia and his art. Established in 1950 by DeGrazia, the Gallery in the Sun is a Tucson tradition that is a favorite among visitors and local Tucsonans alike. DeGrazia and his work are characterized by their rebellious approach and passionate depiction of Southwestern life.
